Front Row Seats Mean Being Able To Flip Off The Coach Without Dropping Your Baby

Donald Sterling Has Seized The "Guy Who Hates Cancer Patients" Label
Several tipsters took it upon themselves to point out a story about then-Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Kim Hughes's battle with prostate cancer, and how the necessary surgery wasn't covered by the team's medical-insurance plan.

Tar Heels Advance, Face Aggressive-Looking Fan En Route To Locker Room
The North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the Washington Huskies with some help from officials who didn't bother double-checking the shot clock before giving the latter their final shot to conceivably tie the game.

Kentucky Fan Enters The Memorable Tournament-Time Hairstyle Fray
Tipster Jeffrey G. was kind enough to send in that screenshot from today's Kentucky/West Virginia game. He also asked, "When did George Washington become a Kentucky basketball fan"? A better question is, "Why do both haircentric-tip targets from the past nine days have a ginger boy next to them"?...
